The question as text
Two particles P and Q, of masses 0.3kg and 0.2kg respectively, are attached to the ends of a light inextensible string. The string passes over a fixed smooth pulley at B which is attached to two inclined planes. P lies on a smooth plane AB which is inclined at 60Å to the horizontal. Q lies on a plane BC which is inclined at 30Å to the horizontal. The string is taut and the particles can move on lines of greatest slope of the two planes (see diagram).
